Stupidly good underdog performance, it has the emotive vocals, and Jerry kills the solos. Highly underrated.. A must listen.

I still say this one is the go to version...it's my mantra song in a wink wink manner, and damned if they didn't give me my best version ever the first time I caught it live.

Holy shit! One of my picks is on top, well fuck yeah! I have integrated the very special greeting of "one of my favorite people in the whole wide world" when speaking with loved ones, once in a while. It's the highest of compliments, is it not?

And this would be the ONLY version, so yeah, voted....I love this song, could have been worked into something really good....always wanted the story behind it, who hated it, etc.

I still find it difficult to believe that Hunter wrote this...did he hate Vince? It is tied with Wave to the Wind as the most epically bad song they were slogging back then. This song is the opposite of Batman, the AT&T of Dead tracks. There is no heady version of it.....but yes, it's nice to have fucking Bradford on this one.....(still not voting for it)
